Tyler Sheehan threw an 18-yard touchdown pass to Freddie Barnes with 39 seconds left to give Bowling Green a 30-29 victory over Buffalo on Tuesday night.

Through Bowling Green's first eight games this season the Falcons have allowed an opposing player to rush for at least 100 yards six times. Bowling Green is 1-5 in those games.

The task of stopping the run doesn't get any easier as next up for the Falcons is a game at Buffalo on Nov. 3.

The Bulls lost standout running back James Starks before the start of the season, but Ike Nduka has emerged as a running threat. In Buffalo's most recent game, an overtime loss to Western Michigan on Oct. 24, Nduka carried 18 times for 172 yards and a touchdown. He has rushed for over 100 yards in three of Buffalo's last four games.

"We have not really defended the run well all year," BG head coach Dave Clawson said.
